Hello, I have a samba server serving som e shares to a heavily loaded web- server. There a four shares fg 60Gb each. Approx. once a day, one of the shares die (it tends to be the one under the harddest strain). The server log says: [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(336) samba logged in as admin user (root privileges) [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550) www (10.1.1.1) connect to service data3 as user samba (uid=0, gid=1001) (pid 29024) [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) www (10.1.1.1) closed connection to service data3 [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(477) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) www (10.1.1.1) closed connection to service data3 And on the client: May 1 17:59:51 www kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 512 May 1 17:59:51 www kernel: smb_request: result -512, setting invalid May 1 17:59:51 www kernel: smb_retry: caught signal May 1 17:59:51 www last message repeated 2 times Now the share is dead. An mount/umount usually gets the share started again. The socket options I use are socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 Each share looks like this: [data1] comment = Data 1 browseable = yes read only = no writable = yes public = no path=/data/1 create mask = 0775 directory mask = 1775 I don't use syslog to log this. Any hint or help would be very much appreciated. -- Per Andreas Buer We've had enough edutainment. We need funderstanding.
